The Minister recalled that at the Warsaw summit, agreement was reached that Ukraine should first lead of the security sector and defense to the standards of the Alliance.
“We have a commitment … to make it to 2020. In fact, a very ambitious task. If you look, as did the new countries-members of NATO, it lasted much longer. But do it, and then we will see how to move further”, – he said.
Answering the question of when Ukraine will join NATO, Klimkin said: “I Believe that it will happen sooner than many people do dream and hope. I believe, these three years, if used with meaning, the chance we will have in the near future.”
